  1. Not actually been to the Wellington, but it looks good, might pop in on Friday. Sheffield's blessed with lots of very good pubs. The Fat Cat, and Kelham Island Tavern nearby are also good. Foodwise, depends on how much time and money you have. Pina (Tacos), Domo (Italian), Native (Seafood), VorV (Vegetables), all around Kelham Island and are decent, VorV's a little pricier, pricer still is Joro if you're really looking to treat yourself. You'd probably be advised to book for all of those. Noodle Doodle (Malaysian), Beteseb, or CANA (Ethiopian) cheaper hole in the wall type places nearer the city centre. Or somewhere like Heist Brew Co in Kelham Island will so you decent burgers and chips.
  2. Save yourself the journey and go to the Peak District instead. Recommended pubs (not sure about matchday rules), roughly from the station towards Hillsborough, these are some of the bigger pubs that come to mind that might be able to serve and seat a few fans: Sheffield Tap (in the Station) Shakespears Gardeners Rest All old boozers rather than sports pubs, so depends what you're after, they certainly won't be able to accommodate 3,000 away fans. The last couple are all around Kelham Island, about 30 mins walk to Hillsborough, lots of other places to drink and eat round there as well. The area's ex industrial, now gentrified - and is a mix of old boozers, the odd bit bit of industry, flats and breweries, tap rooms, etc. https://cutleryworks.co.uk/ foodhall handy for a quick(ish) dinner. Just got a refund on the tickets we'd got in the home end and got some in the away end. Super quick refund from their ticket office.
  3. I’m accepting of the ‘star’ players like JWP, Lavia, Kameldene, ABK, KWP all leaving. I’d be a bit disappointed but not in the least surprised. Would be very disappointed if the likes of Tella and Livramento were sold. In my mind they’re exactly sort of players who will get us out of this division and push on in the PL. I see Tella, Livramento and even Endozie as being well within our grasps to keep. They don’t really have a case to force a move. And the fees of £15m for them wouldn’t get us anything better. A £15m player won’t want to come to us, it would either be a a collection of tin pot players or gambles on some youngsters. Tella and Livramento have should some real promise but are yet to realise it over a whole season for us.
  4. According to match stats they had 9 shots, 4 on target, to our 19 shots, 5 on target. 4 shots on target, 4 goals.
  5. Don't know how Fernandes has avoided being booked, he's right up screaming in the ref's face constantly. And Anthony I think telling the ref to book Perraud.
  6. Have only seen the highlights but unfortunately it viewed like a howlers reel of Bednarek mistakes.

    Seeing the old forum sure makes me feel old http://web.archive.org/web/20040326094755/http://www.saintsforever.com/
  8. Did we make 6 subs (according to BBC we did)? I thought the limit was 5? Am I missing something?
  9. Would Michael Laudrup be a contender at all? Did a decent job with Swansea for a while. He's Danish. He plays decent attacking football.
  10. Saints weren't great but besides from the freekick Villa didn't really create many clear cut chances. VAR could easily have decide that Watkin's knee was beyond Lyanco's head and that he was offside. And could easily have decided that Elyanoussi's arm brushed the back of their defender rather than shoved him over and allowed our goal to stand. Ultimately VAR decided Villa were to win. A draw maybe, but Villa to have won that based on those two goal decisions is astounding. I'm not a fan of the new style offside rule, but it gets used one week and not the next, whoever draws these lines seems to have a great deal of poetic license. It's marginal and could have gone either way. But not when you're going to be pedantic enough to rule out our perfectly good goal.
  11. Much as I'm uninspired by NJ's appointment and the display against Brighton. He's had two PL games against two very good teams who are on form. It's taken Brighton a few years of building to get to this point, they remind me of Saints when we had Pochetino/Koeman and Lallana, Schiderlin, Lambert, Fonte etc. A group of players who've grown and improved as a group with a decent manager. I thought the commentator said this new manager Brighton have got took 5 games before getting his first win. Maybe allow the same courtesy for Nathan Jones.
  12. Not sure, there was Nick Powell from Crew but think there were L1. Diaz isn't the sort of signing I'd expect them to make, but they do have a very sporadic transfer policy.
  13. Looks like we've appointed an 'U18 Individual Development Coach', Pete Haynes from Cheltenham: https://www.ctfc.com/news/2022/september2/pete-haynes-departs-for-southampton/
  14. Have you mocked up Gary Lineker in blackface as your avatar?
